Are there any tricks to making my text bigger so I can read it without wearing glasses? It's frustrating to try to use the phone or check emails, etc. when I don't have my glasses with me. I know the solution really is for me to always wear the glasses, but I'm looking for a better option. In SETTINGS I've already adjusted the TEXT SIZE to the largest size. Thanks.

I don't know what the size limit is, but system fonts can be tweaked using utilities like Tweaks2k.

There isn't any size limit - you can blow up the fonts to the point where the OS is not usable. And yes, I learned that the hard way.

Dee, first welcome to PPCT, second, you need to tell us which device you are using - there are differences in the way fonts are handled between different OS types.

i looked for a free app...but nothing yet... $21.50 for zoom may be worth it for u. call them digital glasses that never break...maybe not never ,few hard resets ...LoL...

there is a trial version to see if u like it first. so after trial...buy it or continue sqinting.
